Rising share prices tell one story; voters' confidence tells another. Wilfred Frost puts both on screen in Sky News's Mornings, looking beyond the campaign endorsements to the economic pressures facing Americans before tomorrow's midterm elections.
The broadcast's title centres on Michigan Democrat Haley Stevens backing Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers. Stevens lost the Democratic nomination to Abdul El-Sayed before endorsing his general-election opponent. Correspondent David Blevens examines the political implications, with clips of Stevens announcing her support and El-Sayed saying he is less interested in the politics of the dispute.
That endorsement has already received extensive attention. This programme adds a wider question: how much do political declarations matter alongside people's experience of prices, jobs and immigration enforcement?
Martha Kelner reports from Texas on Hispanic voters reconsidering their support for Donald Trump. Radio host Montserrat Arteaga describes a gap between what voters were promised and what they see happening under his immigration policies.
Later, Frost compares economic growth and stock-market gains with persistent inflation and consumer confidence. Guest Colin Seeberger argues that dissatisfaction with the economy is the central electoral factor, while Republican pollster Ashley Rich Stevenson expresses her hope that Republicans retain both chambers of Congress.
The hour-long upload drew about 19,000 views in its first two hours. It also turns back to Britain, where Rob Powell outlines proposed longer waits for permanent settlement and Science Minister Chris McDonald answers questions about migration policy and funding to unlock stalled industrial sites.
